Hi folks,
My charge port door operates fine, the light comes on when charging, it opens and closes OK, charges OK. however there is an error message on the dashboard: "charge port needs service, contact service when convenient"
I had this issue late last year as well, and a service technician just came out to parking lot when i mentioned it in passing to "recalibrate" it. it took less than 10 mins to reset.
The car is now out of warranty, but Tesla insists on charging a "standard diagnostic fee" of $175 to just look at the issue and reset it. It seems I'm not alone, there's others that have seen similar issue:

Charge Port Door Needs to be Replaced...
Any thoughts if there's a way to reset / re calibrate without going to Tesla? I'm a little ticked off having to pay $175 for them to just reset it...especially because less than a year ago they already reset it
thoughts?
